Human Anatomy & Physiology I

5 units

This is the first of a two-semester sequence that examines all major organ systems in the human/mammalian body. The lab is an integral part of the course. The emphasis is on understanding normal function and processes at the gross, cellular, and molecular levels as well as some discussion of pathology and disease. The first semester covers basic principles of cellular physiology, histology, digestion, bone, muscle, and the nervous system. Optional weekly discussion and review sections are also offered during which case studies are discussed as a means of applying and reviewing lecture material.
